Chapter 1757 - Bu Fang Go and Get Help (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The palaces of the three Cursed Goddesses were actually located in three opposite corners of District A, forming a triangular shape. At this moment, countless men of the Cavalry of Death, who served Soul, had gathered outside Houtu’s palace.

Compared with Soul, Houtu’s weakness was her army. It was too weak, especially when facing an elite force like the Cavalry of Death. Although the Cavalry of Death had suffered a loss in front of Bu Fang’s restaurant, the squad in that battle was nowhere near as strong as this one here, either in numbers or in high-end combat forces.

Accompanied by the rumble of thunder, dark clouds kept flying in from the distance, turning this part of the city dark. The air was filled with a nightmarish aura, making all those who sense it tremble uncontrollably.

Houtu sat cross-legged in front of her palace, facing the countless men of the Cavalry of Death. Slowly, she opened her eyes. Her indifferent expression startled many nobles and experts who were watching in the dark.

“Why is Her Excellency Houtu acting so cool?”

“Is she going to fight the entire Cavalry of Death all by herself?”

“There’s no way she can do that, right? Not to mention that Her Excellency Soul is also here!”

Suddenly, all the nobles froze. They watched with wide eyes as Houtu slowly rose to her feet and walked step by step toward the cavalry, her robe fluttering.

The Cavalry of Death stopped. They were clad in black armor and surrounded by the aura of death. Their mounts were growling in voices that seemed to be able to shatter the stars.

“Are you going to kill yourself, or do you want me to help you?”

Soul appeared in midair. She was surrounded by a layer of curse power, which was surrounded by another layer of sin power. It gave her a bizarre look. All the nobles sucked in their breath as her voice rang out.

“She actually asked another Cursed Goddess to commit suicide! She’s so… aggressive and domineering!”

Houtu, however, did not answer. She just gave Soul a mocking glance.

Soul raised her hand. The next moment, the palace began to shake violently. The walls were soon full of cracks, and the whole building looked as if it might collapse at any moment.

“You think you still have a chance? Without Duchess Nightmare, you are no match for me,” said Soul.

Houtu’s hair whipped in the wind, and her red lips pouted slightly. She knew the importance of this battle. The war between the Soul Demon Universe and the Primitive Universe was at a stalemate, and the battle in Void City would be the key to the final showdown between the two universes.

Therefore, Houtu would not back down. Besides, she was a very proud person. She would never kill herself just because Soul told her so. She took a step forward and floated up into the air, her loose robe billowing in the wind.

“Isn’t it just an army? Come, let me see how strong the famous Cavalry of Death is,” said Houtu.

In midair, Soul’s eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, she raised one hand and waved it gently. At the gesture, the Cavalry of Death immediately began to charge.

…

The atmosphere in the restaurant became a little stagnant.

Viscount Ash sat at a table with a somewhat heavy face. Since she had chosen Nethery, she must worry about her future. Master Zhen Yong sighed. They exchanged a glance and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.

They knew very well that Nethery’s power was simply not strong enough to stand up against Soul. What should they do, then? When Soul got rid of Houotu, she would surely turn back to deal with Nethery. By then, they would be in a very bad situation.

Perhaps they should go and help Houtu now? No, it was no use at all. With their strength, they could provide little to no help even if they were there.

At another table in the restaurant, Bu Fang leisurely sipped a cup of warm tea, looking like a retired old man.

At the sight of that, Viscount Ash and Master Zhen Yong both did not know whether to laugh or cry. They could not understand why the chef could be so calm. Did he not realize that they were in great danger now?

Nethery was playing with Foxy. Like Bu Fang, she was also very calm because she knew it was safest to stay in the restaurant. Curled up in her arms, the little fox’s fluffy tails were wagging.

Countess Aitang and the others had left, but Marquis Lang Gu stayed. Although they were not happy with what Soul had done, they had chosen to support her a long time ago, and their forces were inseparable from her.

They were different from Marquis Lang Gu, who was alone and could leave whenever he wanted. Their forces were already integrated into Soul’s. Therefore, they had no other choice but to continue supporting her.

Marquis Lang Gu sat in a corner, sulking. Marchioness Moti’s death greatly saddened him. The amazing little girl, on the other hand, was walking around inside the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, a squad of Cavalry of Death was watching them. The leader was a Chaotic Saint. Of course, he was only the weakest Chaotic Saint, about as strong as the crone who took care of the fighting pit.

However, such strength was enough. They did not come here to stop Bu Fang. Their job was to keep an eye on the people in the restaurant and report any unusual activity to Soul as soon as they saw one.

After drinking the cup of tea, Bu Fang felt warm all over. He put the cup gently on the table, then said, “You all stay in the restaurant. I’ll go back and get some help.”

“Get some help? Do you think this is an after-school fight?”

In a battle at this level, it was not always the side with the most men that won. The only thing that could determine the final winner was the top fighting forces of both sides. It did not matter how many men one side had if it did not have enough top fighting forces.

“Do you really think there are no experts left in the Chaotic Universe?” Bu Fang said, glancing at Viscount Ash and twitching his mouth.

At this moment, Nethery stood up and expressed her wish to go with Bu Fang. However, he shook his hand and refused her.

“You stay here. As long as you stay in the restaurant, you are perfectly safe… No one can break the restaurant’s defense unless the Queen of Curses does it herself,” Bu Fang said. The restaurant was built by the System, so its defenses were definitely very strong.
